In honor of National Stalking Awareness Month, we're sharing the story that sparked the movement. Join us as we discuss the tragic case of Peggy Klinke—a bright, ambitious woman whose life was cut short by a relentless stalker, her ex-boyfriend. In this episode, we'll explore Peggy's story, the devastating consequences of stalking, and how her legacy continues to raise awareness and inspire change.

Special thanks to Peggy's sister Debbie for all of your help in making this episode.

Research by Haley Gray and research assistance by Ana Luria.

If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, knowing what steps to take can make all the difference. SPARC provides valuable tools, including guidance for documenting incidents and reaching out for help. Visit stalkingawareness.org for more information and resources.

Debbie and Haley are hosting a free stalking webinar on February 20 at 12 PM Central via Google Meet. They'll share Peggy's story alongside a stalking expert, discussing red flags, ways to support victims, and more. Stay tuned for additional details on our Instagram soon!
